new distribution groups - requiresenderauthentication - 2k7

[Greg Mulholland]

Anyone know of a way to tell exchange to not mark new dg's as needing 
authentication and use that as the default.

I know i can use powershell to create new dg's using 'false' and even reset all 
groups later, but i'd still like to know.

In case anyone is interested, I expanded on this explanation a little bit, and 
added a discussion of checkpoint exhaustion, which I recommend you should be 
monitoring for on your Exchange server.

The specific case that got me thinking about this is a remote office E2K server 
with rather low disk space, on which the logs were accumulating in the mdbdata 
directory. The backup job had hung waiting for a tape the local person had not 
loaded, and there were an extra gig or so of log files.  I just checked it 
again, and now it's back to normal level of free space and only a few log 
files.  I didn't see any events in the applog other than an ESE 215 error that 
showed when I canceled the backup job, and the usual ESE 7xx events re. online 
defrags.  Maybe I could turn up some logging to get more insight into tran log 
commitments?

Thanks for this excellent explanation - I'm saving it.

Have a nice weekend.

Subject: RE: Committing transaction logs
A concise explanation? Hrmmm.

Well, first, doing a backup does NOT force logs to be committed. It means that 
the backup process waits until a checkpoint occurs, flushes the current 
transaction log, and during the backup additional checkpoints are not allowed 
to occur (that is, nothing is allowed to be flushed to the ESE database until 
after the backup is complete – leading to an increasing checkpoint depth, and 
in extreme situations, checkpoint exhaustion – but that is another discussion 
altogether). The ESE buffers are not flushed.

So…data is written, in a serialized fashion, to the in-memory ESE cache and to 
the log buffers, as updates occur in an Exchange database. Logs are written to 
disk as logs fill up, or as checkpoints occur. (This may mean that a log can 
have nothing but a checkpoint record in it – but that is not the normal case.) 
In the ESE buffers, I/O is accumulated and prioritized by a process known as 
the “lazy writer”. The lazy writer scans the ESE buffers for dirty (modified) 
pages and builds an optimized list to flush those to disk. As that list is 
flushed to disk, the pages are marked as “clean”, and the checkpoint is marked 
as having advanced (on a transaction by transaction basis, not a log by log 
basis). Whenever the transaction in a log are fully advanced, then the 
checkpoint file and the database header are updated.

During a backup, the lazy writer is paused.

The ONLY time you are assured that logs are fully committed is during clean 
shutdown, or after running soft recovery.

So…what is the problem you are trying to address or question you are trying to 
answer? I might be of more help if I know that.

sp1 in child domain

[Greg Mulholland]

We have a placeholder domain at the root of our forest. There are two dc's one 
in AU and one in US. The AU one being the schema master.

We want to install exchange 2007 sp1 into our child domain which spans many 
countries. Currently the RID and PDC roles are a win2k sp4 box. The 
infrastructure master is a wind2k3 sp2 server and the domain function level is 
windows 2000 native.

Currently AU hosts the only 2k7 server in the org. It works fine however we do 
get 'The domain controller dc#.domain.com is running Windows 5.0 (2195) 
(Unknown Service Pack). Exchange Active Directory Provider requires that domain 
controllers are running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later versions of 
Windows' warnings.

I have used vmware to test installation of sp1 on our 2 exchange 2007 servers 
with the 2 AU child dcs and the au root dc after some jigging with the schema 
extensions in the root domain with the 32bit sp21. This process worked however 
it is an isolated test as it doesn't talk to the rest of our dc's on the wan 
being a test network.

I guess the thing im trying to figure now is whether we will have more issues 
after sp1 is applied with windows 2000 dc's still hanging around and if it is 
better to upgrade them to win2k3 sp2 first. There are 8 win2k dcs out of 15.

Anyone had any experience in a similar environment to this or could offer any 
input, i'd be listening.

Thanks

Nah we develop software that uses mapi to send mail. To change the method will 
mean a recode, so the client has asked if they can have a workaround.

powershell script locking output file

[Greg Mulholland]

Hi guys

I have a powershell script that runs exchange commands and outputs to a html 
file and emails the report.

However it seems something is locking the file cos the subsenquent times I run 
the script I get 'the process cannot access the file because it is in use by 
another process. The script is not ready for pirme time (yet) but its really 
annoying changing the filename everytime I want to run the script.

I was using a dispose command at the end of the another script I wrote e but 
this doesn't seem to work on this one. Anyone have any ideas. This is the guts 
of what the script does so far.

RE: ISINTEG question.

[Greg Mulholland]

I'd agree with that

I recently had an issue with a corrupt database, albeit a very small part,
possibly one mailbox. The error in the backup was The 'Microsoft Information
Store' returned 'Error returned from an ESE function call (d).' from a call
to 'HrESEBackupRead()' . There was a temptation for a second to run eseutil
and isinteg on the database for a fix but certainly everything ide been
taught and read was that these tools (isinteg particularly) can be abrasive
to the database and potentially cause more issues. In my situation I was
without a decent backup for a while as well.

I set about moving databases to new stores. It also gave me a chance to
break apart the stores in to more meaningful and manageable blocks and also
re-define my logs and databases drives a little better since build. I have
now have 3 storage groups with a private store in each for my 3 clear
different user levels. In the process I managed to find a mailbox that had a
few corrupted items which I have re-created (mail gets pst'd after every
year, so she has a copy at home anyway) I could have run isinteg on the
remaining mailbox in the default store but wth its only one mailbox!!

I am now happy to report that the backups of each store are going
swimmingly. Thanks Michael for your help..

Inviato: giovedì 3 gennaio 2008 19.16
A: MS-Exchange Admin Issues
Oggetto: RE: ISINTEG question.

Urg. Non-trivial to explain.

I tried to find a public document that describes some of what isinteg does
on a technical level, but couldn't.

Historically, isinteg was a debugging tool for PSS. It allowed them to scan
a store and in the case of corruption, basically get rid of the offending
piece of the store. This followed the "I'd rather have part of my store than
none of it" philosophy. After a while, it made it into the standard release.
Then, it was used primarily for patching stores that were reloaded from
backup.

Today, the primary use for isinteg is to fix-up a database after it has been
repaired.

ESEutil is not Exchange aware. Difficult to believe, huh? But eseutil just
treats an Exchange store as any ESE database. And therefore its operations
are generic in nature.

It's up to isinteg to make sure that a given database is ready to be used by
Exchange. It understand the various tables and specific B+trees and the
consistency stuff and the split factors and the duplicate roots and the long
value blobs, etc. etc.

Under many situations isinteg can cause secondary indexes to be eliminated.
It can cause both table splits and table merges that Exchange will undo the
next-time it accesses a particular folder (because the Exchange store itself
is load-sensitive - but isinteg cannot be).

So...detuned. You'll have to regenerate secondary indexes (which Outlook
calls Views). And your table structure may no longer be optimal under load,
which Exchange will have to adjust in the future.

I don't think that there are any current recommendations from Microsoft to
run isinteg EXCEPT after a repair (or upon the recommendation of a PSS
engineer).

In fact, a quick scan of the knowledge base reveals that there are, in fact,
problems with running isinteg on production databases - up to and including
Exchange 2007! (Fixed in update rollup 3.)

Michael,

I guess the term "detuned" is in question.
By running isinteg, how does it "detune" the indexes?? By what means are the
indexes kept "intune"?

I'm curious also.

Tom

 You can run isinteg on a dismounted database - pretty much ANY
dismounted database - and it will give you warnings. This is because
isinteg is a utility and not a database engine itself. You can tell
isinteg to fix those warnings, and run it multiple times until there
aren't any more warnings, and you've just detuned your indexes.

RE: Tracking disk space consumption

I would use windirstat or treesize to find out where the greatest % of space

However, it sounds like you have other issues, are your logs truncating?

Dear all, the partition that our mdb files live in is consistently reducing
in free space by about 2 GB a day.

 

Short of looking at mailbox sizes on a daily basis, and seeing a day to day
delta for each mailbox, is there a way to work out where the disk space is
going?

Automatic email forwarding

[Greg Mulholland]

We have a situation as follows:



Clients who call the a certain company currently have the option to leave a 
voicemail with their details if they wish to receive either of two information 
packs in the mail. These messages are currently forwarded to the company via 
email on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is currently a manual process where each 
email is individually forwarded. We are looking to automate this process and 
have arranged to have our voicemail system to be configured to send all 
messages system to mailboxes on the mailserver. We would then like to setup 
email forwarding on these mailboxes to send these to the company automatically. 
The only issue is that we would like to restrict forwarding to Tuesdays & 
Thursdays only as per our current arrangement.



Has anyone got any ideas? I have considered them using pop, but i am not sure 
why the Tuesday and Thursday rule is in place. In any event that would be a 
client initiated thing and not server side.



We are currently using exchange 2003,l however we will be going to exchange 
2007 soon.



Thanks
